Adding support for Flomec

post by Knutsont on Jun 8, 2022

This info is from a previous thread, but I just installed a QS200-15 that I would like to use. Would it be possible to add support for this (these) flow meter(s), please?

Additionally, could a generic meter model be added in which the user could input arbitrary k-factor and offset?

All Flomec models:

• QS200-15
  K = 0.7926
• QS200-20
  K = 1.3765
• QS200-30
  K = 3.8444
• QS200-40
  K = 7.1676

All have an offset of 0.

Thanks.

Slight correction to the above based on the latest published Kfactors from the Flomec Website…

All Flomec models:

• QS200-15
  K = 0.7923
• QS200-20
  K = 1.4610
• QS200-30
  K = 4.2630
• QS200-40
  K = 8.0881

All have an offset of 0.

I would also like to request that the QS100-10 flow sensor be added to the flow sensor selection in the Rachio app. I have this meter installed on my system with a Rachio controller, but the readings are not correct because it is not currently supported in the app.

The QS100-10 has the following Kfactor and Offset:

• QS100-10
  K = 0.4211 Offset = 0

In lieu of any additional specific manufacturers and models being added to the app, I would be in strong favor of adding a generic flow sensor where the user can enter their own custom K factor and Offset values.
